			<div style="margin-left:20px;"><poem>
			One abyss the other calls out,
			Together they make a hard strife:
			The fleeting shall become quite fixed,
			Water and vapour turn to earth.
			Heaven itself must be earthly,
			Or else no life will enter the earth.
			The highest shall be the lowest,
			The lowest shall become the highest fine.
			That which is fixed shall become quite fleeting,
			The earth shall be water and vapour.
			The earth must fly up to the sky,
			Heaven must crawl into the centre of the earth.
			Thus heaven and earth must be reversed,
			Let the lowest become the highest.
			The fleeting dragon kills the fixed one,
			The fixed one kills the fleeting one.
			So it must come to be revealed in the day,
			The quintessence, and what it can do.

There are '''seven secrets of life'''. [[Rudolf Steiner]] often discussed individual ones, but rarely presented all seven in context. In the Paris lecture of 13.6.1906 it is said:

<div style="margin-left:20px">
„There are seven secrets of life which have never yet been spoken of outside the occult brotherhoods. Only in the present epoch is it possible to speak of them exoterically. They are also called the seven "inexpressible" or "unspeakable" secrets.

These are the secrets:

#The [[Mystery of the Abyss]].
#The [[Mystery of the Number]]. (One can study it in Pythagorean philosophy).
#The [[Mystery of Alchemy]]. (This can be understood through the works of Paracelsus and Jakob Böhme).
#The [[Mystery of Birth and Death]].
#The [[Mystery of Evil]], which the [[Apocalypse of John|Apocalypse]] deals with.
#The [[Mystery of the Word]], the [[Logos]].
#The [[Mystery of Godliness]]; it is the most profoundly hidden.” {{Lit|{{G|246|253}}/{{G|094|111}}<ref>The original paper by Edouard Schuré is in French. Instead of "unspeakable" it says "nameless" mysteries in GA 94, which is a translation error. Moreover, in the 4th secret, birth is not mentioned.</ref>}}
